clbuttic mistake \Prononciation ?\
- (Internet) Excès de zèle d'un filtre anti-spam.
- In a farcical sequel to the Scunthorpe problem, some filters have been known to act like rogue spell checkers, replacing "rude" words with what they deem to be more acceptable variants.
"Butt" replaces "ass", "breast" is substituted for "tit", and so on, even within longer words containing the banned letter combinations.
This is known as the "clbuttic mistake", because classic is edited as clbuttic, passport becomes pbuttport, and so on. — (Jude Sheerin, How spam filters dictated Canadian magazine's fate, BBC News, 29 mars 2010)
